GDT: Texas Rangers @ Toronto Blue Jays (Game 5 of the ALDS) #WeAreTheTrueBelievers

This will be the gayest way to lose ever if this score holds up

 

No need to use gay in this sense. Gay means happy.

[vdubmvp]

Sigh, once this stands, more s*** is coming on the field...

[Pulk_Pull]

An accidental run?

Choos bat was in the way of Martins throwback.

 

He was in the batters box. His bat was not extended out over the plate. Martin needs to throw around.

[el duque]

From the moment the home umpire stops the game is dead ball and the runner is still far from home so technically they should reverse it, no run

[comeon sense]

Dale scot is the one who screwed this up.

[ICECOLDBEER]

If they count this run I'll smash the f***ing TV. Absolute f***ing horseshit

[Jonn]

The orginal call was f***ing dead ball.

[FrozenRopes]

If he is in the batters box, he can have his bat, head, body etc in front of Martin. If Martin throws and hits him the ball is in play. This is not the first time this has happened.

[Grant77]

On previous pitches, Choo's arm is not fully extended and the bat isn't out of the batters box.

 

On the pitch play in question, it is and his bat is out of the box.

 

Is that worth considering?

[MrMariusz]

How can that play even stand?

At most, this is an umpiring error... he took away the play the Jays would've made (throwing out the runner).

[comeon sense]

He was in the batters box. His bat was not extended out over the plate. Martin needs to throw around.

Umpire called time out.

Run cant score after that.

[EdwinsParrot]

The fact fhat something like this could win a game for a team

 

Crazy

[Yorkshire Blue Jay]

Umpire waved the play dead before Odor crossed the plate

[fatcowxlive]

Embarrassing that they threw stuff on the field. Fans deserve to lose

 

Its typical of Toronto fans but in the heat of the moment you cant blame em especially since it was overtunred

 

however they kept throwing after the sign came out and that was f***ed

WTF is wrong with that ump's face?

[fireballW]

Honestly I don't think the ups are wrong.

 

I think Gibbons is the biggest moron ever for putting in Sanchez. Stroman was going strong now for many innings. Same as the first game. He took him out when he looked good and right away we got scored on.

[glory]

Stop blaming the umpires.

 

This 100% on Martin.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

Why is everyone only calling out the fans for throwing trash on the field?

 

Last I checked, the MLB threw trash on the field tonight as well. We call it "the umps."

[Spanky99]

Define interference. His arm absolutely interfered with the throw back = dead ball. It doesn't say he has to jump in front of it.

 

That was my initial thought.

[Travis_Snider]

game is under protest

[Inklink]

Game under protest.

 

Idiot Fox, the UMP called it dead. Defense stopped.

 

Ump called it dead because he thought batter was wrong. If he didn't he wouldn't have called it dead!

[Stangstag]

This is crazy

[Jonn]

WTF is going on

[ICECOLDBEER]

The ump is waving his arms. We could have made a play on it. We don't try to make the play because ump waved it off.

[Stangstag]

Typical way for us to f***ing lose a playoff game

[Dylan]

He held his bat out lol

[TheHurl]

Define interference. His arm absolutely interfered with the throw back = dead ball. It doesn't say he has to jump in front of it.

 

rule says intent. I hate judgement rules but in no way is Choo intending

[comeon sense]

This is horseshit!

Game potentially ruined by this ?

[glory]

Game under protest.

 

Idiot Fox, the UMP called it dead. Defense stopped.

 

Even if the defense didn't stop, Odor would have scored.

 

What the hell are people arguing here? Choo was in the box and Martin threw it back to Sanchez without even paying attention. That's on him.
